Bardwell Looks At The IFlight Afterburner Frame! - FPV Questions

[@BowOneFire]

I don't see how this is better than just doing cinematic with a freestyle drone

All the arms go "blyat!" 😂

I owned and flew the original Karearea Talon with vertical arms and later a cheaper clone of it, for about a year. When tilted forward for normal fast forward flight, the arms generated a fair bit of lift, which meant I could go faster for the same or longer time than any of my normal deadcat frames. Back then, even on 4S it was a 90+mph quad. BUT.. because the arms were producing lift, it did get knocked around by the wind a bit more, and not for lack of trying I found it fairly unsuitable for dropping straight down a vertical face (camera with normal up-tilt angle, pointed straight at the ground) because it would just literally fly away from the cliff face (like a skydiver tracking out). What I'd have to do is turn 90 degrees and just fly *close to* the face (on my left or right side) rather than trying to go dead straight down. This effect is the reason I wouldn't really recommend any vertical arm quad for freestyle. If you tried to drop straight down into a small opening in a building, you'll likely miss and hit the roof instead. If you want fast forward cruising though, they're good. And they track around turns like they're on rails.

I'd like one 7" quad with vertical arms... be cool with an aeropod... something to reduce drag covering camera and battery... something for cruising at 99.99 mph for a whole 6s 5000mah... does look like a fiddley son of a...

Check out a guy on KZbin called GDZ He has made a frame that is like this afterburner but much bigger. It’s a Welsh lad that makes some sick frames and stuff.

Looks like AddictiveRC has them in stock now.

I see Bardwell is checking on a 2015 mustang :) heheh nice choice man!

[@yannik4661]

I think he already has one... at least a mustang, no idea what year it is...

[@DigitalCruzer]

I'd like to see JB look at the proto5

[@JinKee]

So it doesn’t have real afterburners?

❤❤❤

You don't want to crash and repair this. The true X and aerodynamic arms make this fly well. Still not worth it, compared to using a typical freestyle.

[@JosephDaulton-sm3ci]

Wtf? Did iflight not send you one of these.. goodness dude , and legit’ly you are at the top of this Fpv goodness,and you have earned it, fuck iflight.. review a real afterburner for us…come on iflight, send Bardwell one.(idiots)

[@JoshHenriques]

I actually messaged Joshua to ask if he was interested in doing a review before we launched it, i think it got lost in his inbox.
